Summary
Fluorescent antibody prepared from sera from guinea pigs immunized with Gilliam, Karp and Kato strains of tsutsugamushi disease rickettsia showed higher staining titers against the homologous than against the heterologous strains. A possible application of the direct immunofluorescent technique for typing of newly isolated rickettsia strains is suggested.
